Sega has set its sights on PDAs. The videogame developer said Wednesday that it is teaming up with Synovial, a provider of wireless multimedia technology, to bring Sega content to PDAs. “Gamers can expect to see Sega content everywhere,” Peter Moore, Sega of America president, said in a statement. In order to play, gamers will have to install software from Synovial to create a Sega-friendly environment inside the handheld. Three Sega games come embedded in the software, including “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Baku Baku Animal.” Other games can be downloaded from the Web for a fee. The terms of the agreement stipulate that Sega will deliver its video game content to various mobile phones and other handheld devices, such as Compaq's iPAQ device, by using Synovial's development tool kit, code-named SYN. This alliance marks the first time Sega content will appear on a personal digital assistant in the United States. Read more at CNET.
